2 Water Towers Hold
1.25 Million Gallons
A water storage capacity of 1.2 1 5 million gallons may
seen► a lot, but it would last but one day if the University's
water supply were suddently cut off.
The new water tower constructed in Hort Woods helps
give the University this water storage capacity.
The tower, now getting the, finishing touches from the
painters' brushes, holds 750,000
gAlons. The other water tower,
located beside Braver Field, holds
500,000 gallons.
Most of the University'. regular
water supply totne from four
wells located on the University's
Thompson farm, behind the Na
tional Cluard Armory. Water is
pumped from these wells through
about 13 miles of underground
Second Water Source
The University's other water
source, which supplies the Power
Plant, is a dam at Musser Gap,
about five miles south of campus.
The water flows down to the Uni
versity by force of gravity.
The water tanks, besides serv
ing as an emergency supply, also
act as "floaters," according to
David It. Gifford, physical plant
employee.
Desk Tops
Of Plastic
Requested
Wholesale damage to seat arms
in Willard }fall classrooms has
caused flay V. Watkins, Univer
sity scheduling officer, to request
plastic arm writing surfaces for
seats in the Hall of the Americas
building which is under construc
tion
Watkins released figures show
ing 57 per cent of seat arms in
Willard damaged, making the
surface unusable for writing.
Names Carved in 'Arms'
"This has been caused" he
said. "by students carving frat
ernity names and first names ill
the arms."
Of 1015 seats •in the building,
579 are damaged, according to fi
gures. if igheat percentage of
damage is in 215 and 317 Willard.
There are 35 seats in 215, 211 are
damaged for an 80 per cent dam
age toll. Of 77 seats in 317, 5!) are
damaged for a 76 per cent toll.
The building is five years old.
Plastic is Harder
Watkins made the request for
plastic arms in the new class
room building because he felt the
plastic tops would resist destruc
tion by pen knives more than the
wooden tablets now commonly
used in University classrooms.
Walter Weigand, director of
the department of physical plant,
said yesterday Watkin's request
would be taken under considera
tion.
The Ila II of the Americas
building will be constructed ad
jacent to the University Hospital.
Weigand said the University
hopes to have the building fin
ished by fall of 1957.

This means, he said, that when
mere water is being consumed
than the wells and the dam can
supply, water is then automatical
ly taken from the tanks.
Refilled at Night
The tanks are then refilled at
night, thereby keeping a 24-hour
supply on hand at almost all
times, Gifford said.
The water pumped in at night
is secured from the farm wells.
Gifford said that he sees no
danger at present of the Univer
sity running out of water, but
said the water shortage supply
will have to keep progress with
increased enrollments.
Both water tanks are elevated,
The one at Beaver Field is en
closed in brick work, while the
new one in Hort Woods is not
enclosed.
University
Repairing
Damages
Physical Plant workmen are
completing the repairs to Univer
sity property necessitated by the
heavy storm last Saturday.
Most of the damage was to
roofing, caused by the high winds
accompanying the storm, accord
ing to Charles A. Lamm, head of
the division of building mainten
ance and operations,
Total damage was estimated by
Lamm at $4OO.
22 Dorms Damaged
About 22 dormitories in the
Nittany-Pollock area, six homes
at Eastview Terrace, and a barn
had damaged roofing as a result
of the storm.
A large plate-glass window on
the second floor of Burrowes
building was broken during the
storm. The 30-inch-by-6-foot win
dow apparently was not com
pletely latched and slammed
against the brick casing of the
building, Lamm said.
A replacement has been or
dered. he said.
Other Projects Planned
Planned projects for the build
ing maintenance and operations
division, according to Lamm, in
clude painting the maiority of the
interior of Agricultural Educa
tion building and minor plumb
ing and electrical changes to the
building formerly known as the
Pollock Union Building,
The PUB, as it was known, has
been used for engineering re
search.

Finances
May Stop
Expansion
Finances pose a top problem in
planning for future expansion at
the University, according to a
report given Wednesday at a din
ner meeting by Eric A. Walker,
dean of the College of Engineer
ing and Architecture.
The University now operates
on an annual budget of about
$3O million, he said. One-third of
that amount comes from the state,
one third from students, and one
third from the federal govern
ment.
More Funds Necessary
To keep up with services and
work already under way, addi
tional funds are necessary, Walk
er said. Without them, some re
traction may be necessary, he
added.
As it is, a 25 per cent boost in
the staff and a 20 per cent in
crease in the pay scale would be
necessary to keep up with stan
dards of other institutions.
Expansion Seen at Centers
How much of the future growth
will be on campus? Walker re
ported that it is possible tha
much of the expansion may have
to be handled through Univer
sity centers.
According to another report
heard at the meeting, the increas
ing University enrollment may
bring about a 7000 population in
crease in the borough.
$5OO Scholarship
Open in Audiology
Application forms for the Delta
Zeta Sorority Scholarship, to be
awarded for study in audiology
or an allied field, are available in
the dean of women's office.
The $5OO scholarship is open to
either graduate women or under
graduate women with junior or
senior standing.
Applications should be submit
ted by April 15.
University Graduate
Killed in 8-50 Crash
Michael Spoek, a 1952 graduate
in meteorology from Sagon, was
killed Wednesday in the crash of
a B-50 near Dayton, Ohio.
He was employed with the
Illinois State Water Survey Board
and was on a reconnaisance flight
for the Board when the plane
crashed.
